[Video]CTMH Close to My Heart Artbooking You and Me Valentine's Card

First project of 2014! And it's all about LOVE!I saw this zebra striped overlay and thought it would be fun to try with a hot pink and red combo for a Valentine's Day card and here's the result.All cuts are from the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge bundle as shown below:

The card is a square 5"x 5" card. Quick tip - to avoid paying more for postage for square cards, pop this card into a 5" x 7" envelope. Problem solved!

I love either but do appreciate something a little more creative. We usually have so much candy still in the house from christmas, and flowers are great but I usually get them on my birthday (January) and anniversary (April) so I don't need him overpaying for them on Valentines day.

Your card is awesome! I love the color combo and the stick people are so fun!! I don't mind flowers but I actually love going out for dinner! I don't need the candy-I have a terrible sweet tooth, lol! Happy Monday!Sherrie K http://sherriescraps.blogspot.com

Joy, Happy New Year! I'm trying to diet, so flowers would be my choice. However, my silly cats keep going after any flowers, so I have to put them up high and that takes some of the fun and enjoyment out of it! Love the color combo and would not have thought of it myself, but I have to try it!

artbooking is a great cart. I love it. You make it so easy to use. If I get stuck I find your video's. I am a chocoholic. I get irritated about flowers. While I love them and they are beautiful, the cost of and the fact they die has always bothered me. Give me that $$ for my scrap stuff instead LOL.

Like the animal Zebra overlay. I like chocolate. I do not like Godiva chocolate. I prefer Hershey & Lindt. I especially like chocolate truffles. Flowers do not last long. If flowers then I would want a Rose bush to plant outside so I can enjoy them more.Melissa"Sunshine HoneyBee"

While I do love candy, a quiet dinner out with my husband sounds like a wonderful Valentine's Day! Seeing all the great cards, etc. that you do makes me think I need to get some CTMH Cricut cartridges...

That Artbooking cart is really nice. I love both flowers and candy for Valentine's day, but if I had to choose one it would be the flowers - because they will last longer than the candy in my house. : - )Elaine S.

Valentine's isn't a big deal around here, but I'd prefer flowers - not roses, but something bright and cheery that didn't die soon after. I really like the scrapbook page sample that you had with the stamp set - so beautiful and such soft colors.

My husband and I don't celebrate Valentines, per se, because our anniversary is on the 20th. We do tiny, little things like a homemade card or something like that. I would rather save it all for our anniversary!

I prefer both! Although either is fine with me. I love that card! Thanks for the tip about using a 5x7 envelope for the square cards, I usually avoid making square cards because of the extra postage. I never thought to just use a bigger envelope.

We usually don't do a whole lot for Valentine's Day. Since our Anniversary is in the middle of January, we do our celebrating then. Sometimes he'll bring home a card and a small box of candy. Thanks for the chance to win.Mary O'Neal

I really, really, really like these cards today! How am I handling the freezing weather? I had to do all the shoveling through the freezing weather/snow storms here in Chicagoland, as my husband is unable to shovel now.I never knew how many clothes I can wear at once. Elaine S.

Well here in Missouri we got 12 inches of snow on Sunday followed by 0 degrees for 36 hours straight. Hot Jasmine tea right next to nice hot bath. Then a wonderful afternoon playing with my brand new cricut expression 2 and cuttlebug that my sweet husband got me for Christmas. I'm such a newbie and I LOVE your website and all the wonderful ideas you show for inspiration. Thank you thank you!!!!!
